Even when things are going right for the Atlanta Braves, things just seem to keep going wrong. Riding a 3-game winning streak, the Braves arrive at Truist Park Monday to get warmed up… and Spencer Strider injures a hamstring playing catch. Yes, you read that right, playing catch. Strider was placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to April 17, the day after his last start. Best case scenario: Strider misses two starts and is back with the team in early May, worst case? Well, we all know how hamstring injuries like to linger. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael talk more about Spencer Strider's injury, and how the Braves keep up their winning ways as he recovers.

HR1 - Trae Young proved this year he can be best player on championship team In hour one Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Abe Gordon recap & react to the Atlanta Braves winning their fourth straight game after a five-run eighth inning helped them beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6 last night. The guys also react to the news that Spencer Strider strained his right hamstring while playing catch yesterday afternoon at Truist Park, and was placed on the 15-day injured list after informing the Braves he would be unable to make his scheduled start against the Cardinals today. Mike, Beau, and Abe also react to the Atlanta Hawks announcing that they will begin the search for a President of Basketball Operations and have hired Sportsology Group, a leading provider of strategic advisory and operational support in the sports industry, to direct the process. The guys also react to the team also announcing that Landry Fields has been relieved of his duties as general manager, and that Onsi Saleh has been promoted to general manager of the Atlanta Hawks. Mike, Beau, and Abe explain why they think Fields is the Hawks' scapegoat. Mike, Beau, and Abe also let you hear Dallas Mavericks General Manger Nico Harrison talk about how he didn't know the full impact that Luka Dončić had on Mavericks fans, and react to what he had to say. The guys also continue to react to the Atlanta Hawks announcing that they will begin the search for a President of Basketball Operations and have hired Sportsology Group, a leading provider of strategic advisory and operational support in the sports industry, to direct the process. The guys also continue to react to the team also announcing that Landry Fields has been relieved of his duties as general manager, and that Onsi Saleh has been promoted to general manager of the Atlanta Hawks. Mike, Beau, and Abe also explain why the sole purpose of the new Hawks front office is to figure out if the Hawks can win a championship with Trae Young. The guys close out the segment by reacting to the news that UCLA quarterback Joey Aguilar is planning to transfer to Tennessee, and also reacting to the news that Nico Iamaleava's younger brother Madden is planning to join Nico at UCLA.
HR3 - Falcons can get two highly graded pass rushers in first two rounds if they want In hour three Abe, Mike, and Beau spend some time with NFL Network Analyst and former Vice President of Player Evaluation for the New York Giants Marc Ross! Abe, Mike, Beau, and Marc discuss if Marc thinks there's going to be any surprises in the NFL Draft this year, how Marc feels about Marshall Edge rusher Mike Green as an NFL edge rusher, if Marc thinks a great defensive back can have just as much or a greater impact on a defense as a good pass rusher can, which pass rushers will provide good value as second round picks, how Marc feels about Shedeur Sanders as an NFL quarterback, if there's a quarterback that's not being talked about enough that could be a diamond in the rough, if Marc ever let public and fan perception dictate or influence draft picks when he was a player evaluator in the NFL, and how much general managers, player evaluators, and scouts take stats into player evaluations, or if it's just all about what the players put on film. Next, Mike, Beau, and Abe discuss if Marshall edge rusher Mike Green would be a good pick for the Atlanta Falcons at 15 overall, and also talk about whether or not they think James Pearce Jr. may be a good second round gamble for the Falcons if he falls to the Falcons second round pick at 46 overall. The guys also continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves winning their fourth straight game after a five-run eighth inning helps them beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6 last night. Mike, Beau, and Abe also continue to react to the news that Spencer Strider strained his right hamstring while playing catch yesterday afternoon at Truist Park, and was placed on the 15-day injured list after informing the Braves he would be unable to make his scheduled start against the Cardinals today.

The guys also discuss whether or not they think the Hawks can win a championship with Trae Young as their best player, and explain why they think Landry Fields didn't get a fair shake as the Hawks' General Manager. Finally, Mike, Beau, and Abe close out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!

The Atlanta Braves suffered through a disappointing road trip only to return to Truist Park and complete a sweep of the Minnesota Twins over the weekend. Is that enough to swing the momentum after a slow start to the season? Grant McAuley recaps the week that was for the Braves, an eventful week that included the return of Spencer Strider, some long-awaited good swings from a number of Atlanta sluggers, the arrival of Alex Verdugo and some less-than-stellar baserunning that set off a firestorm of controversy on social media. Hear from Strider, new Braves lead-off man Verdugo and shortstop Nick Allen shares how the first few weeks of the season have treated him as Atlanta's de facto starting shortstop. All of that, a trip around the big leagues and a visit with Columbus Clingstones broadcaster Jack Johnson on this edition of the show!
